Ever since I was a kid, I have had one best friend. Being kids we would the normal things any pair of “best friends forever” would do. From crazy stunts, to small arguments (which would lead to big arguments), to always telling each other everything, and always having fun. At the time I couldn 't help but think we were going to be “best friend FOREVER”. Well, It didn 't exactly turn out to be that way.
A few years ago my best friend’s family decided to move to another state. I was fascinated with their plan, but I didn 't have any idea of what it would do to our friendship.

When I approached him, he smiled, but I could tell it was fake. He told me how happy he was to see me, but I could sense the pretense in his voice. However that didn 't stop me from trying to spend time with him. It took a few weeks for me afterwards to realize we weren 't “best friends” anymore. He was surrounded by some many new people he forgot about his best friend. But that didn 't stop him from introducing me as his “best …show more content…
I didn 't realize that until a few months ago, when my college tuition was due. Two weeks before the deadline I realized I didn 't have the money to pay the few thousand that I needed to pay. I shared my concern with my family, who completely surprised me. My mom started researching, to see what resources where available at the time, my sister offered me her piggy bank, and my brother started brainstorming. I couldn 't believe it, I didn 't expect this kind of reaction from them. After several days I still needed a couple thousand, and I reluctantly started an application for a loan. I was halfway through the application, when my brother told me to wait, he said he had a great idea but needed more time. I decided to obey my brother and wait to see what he had in mind. After a few hours he shared his plan with me, it was an offer I couldn’t resist. Not only did I Pay off my entire tuition, but I was also debt free. And it was all made possible because of my family, who was there for me when I needed them the most. But it was not just this one time, my family has always been there for me in my ups and downs, they have suffered and celebrated with me in ways that not even my best friend could have.

Then on January 18th we started texting about our issues. My friend had not been very nice lately, and she had changed since she was my buddy in crime in elementary school. So, we started texting about our issues. I was about to send the text, “Gtg”, and go downstairs for dinner, when she sent a text saying, “I don’t think we should be best friends anymore.” As soon as the text lit up on my phone screen, I started sobbing. I was heartbroken, destroyed, and most of all, disappointed. My best friend since 2nd grade had told me she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore, and ever since then, it really did feel like that. I was lucky if I ever felt that we were just acquaintances. This text devastated me. In most situation, if you make a friend in early elementary school, usually you’re friends and you stay friends forever, and get closer year by year. But, in my case, that fate did not happen. My best friend turned around on me and said she didn’t want to be my best friend anymore. So I realized that even though friends can promise things, you never know what will happen to a friendship five years in the future, but if friends are loyal to you, a friendship could last a

An effective crisis management response plan outlines specific procedures for administrator, teachers, and students during evacuation emergencies. Administrators work with teachers, students, parents, law enforcement officers, business and community members, to develop an effective emergency and crises plan.

In an event of a fire at the hospital, all employees need to protect the patients and move them to a safe location. The first response to a fire drill is for each department to send someone with a fire extinguisher to the area. The fire must be contained so that other staffs can help move the patients to a safety area. Once the fire is being contained, the nurses should move the patients out one by one. Once the patient is completely removed from the room, a placard will be placed on the closed door alerting all other staff that there is no longer a patient in that room. If the patient has an airborne sickness, then the nurses trained to care for the patient must do all the necessary precaution before removing the patient. Usually these patients
What is true friendship? “It is putting someone else first. It is being strictly honest, loyal, and chaste in every action. Perhaps it is the word commitment that unlocks the real meaning of friendship.” (Dalton). That is the essence of a true friend, someone that is always there for you. Though friendship is not easy, it can fall apart a lot easier. Good friendships can be affected from betrayal, distance, and differences in class.
Growing up in school you have your friends in 1st, then in Jr. High, and then when you get to high school you might not even know or see your friends from 1st grade anymore. For the few people who’s had a friend from 1st grade till college I think that someone they need to hold on to because if they stuck with you through all them year I know they’re there for the right reason and there not just there for a season. As Elizabeth Dunphy says, “It’s the little things that matter, that add up in the end, with the priceless thrilling magic found only in a friend.”
